What to Do About a Kitten Pooping Outside the Litter Box





What should you do if your kitten is pooping outside the litter box? One thing you should I do is to become angry and yell at or spank a kitten. This will backfire, because it will only teach him that you are unpredictable and frightening. You will inadvertently teach a kitten to avoid the box at all costs! He will learn to connect with your yelling, or being hurt.


Instead, you want some guy to see the litter box as a place for uninterrupted relief when nature calls. Here are some things you can try, but every cat is different, so you'll have to experiment with different approaches or tactics.


is the first concern should be health. Since the majority of cases, the litter box avoidance due to medical problems such as urinary tract infection, a trip to the vet is a good first step. After health concerns dismissed, you can begin to take into account the conduct issues.


S kittens, this problem is usually the result of removing them from their mothers too early, so you have to be "mama" during the first months, and teaching those things to my mother.


Starting a kitten with a litter box means you have to spend time with her. Gently place it in sand soon after eating or drinking, stroke the back end and says softly, encouraging her to scratch in the sand. If possible, allow her to look older cats using the litter box. Cats learn a lot from what you need to know from observation and imitation, though, scratching in the sand seems to be instinctive. Kittens that are not taught to use a framework often gravitate there and figure it out. We just have to be patient.


However, if the kitten is older and has not accepted its responsibility litter box, you may need to use other measures to reinforce the behavior.


Consider these five tips:


1 Is the box low enough? High enough? If the kitten is small, the parties must be low enough to allow easy entrance and exit. If the kitten is big enough to jump in, hand you may have to be high enough to prevent the kitten from standing too close to the edge of the missing sand.


2 Sand is clean? Most cats fastidious about where they were eliminated. Would you want someone to use a dirty bathroom? Nor do they.


3 Is the box placed in a private area? Cats and kittens May not be embarrassed about their need to use the box, but if too much noise or traffic, May they feel intimidated by too many activities nearby. Would you want to use a public restroom where the line outside the door is long and all the yelling for you hurry up?


4 Are there enough litter boxes in your home? Just like the kids who are too busy playing to notice the urge, the kittens can not get to the box at any time, especially if it's too far. Keep at least one box on each floor of your house for your convenience and if there are other kitties living with you. The contest for only one box can cause them to look elsewhere.


5 Is the box big enough and sturdy? Some of these little litter boxes are fine to use a cage, but they are usually too light for home use and can easily tip over. As with thin scratching posts that fall over, the cats will avoid the litter box to tip over, too.
